Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 287
July 19, 2016
I have a Keurig coffee maker and that is usually my first stop when I get up in the mornings.
This morning as I opened the drawer that holds the little Keurig Pods, the front part of the drawer was almost empty. The back part had several other type choices but the first cup of coffee in the morning needs to be Folgers. OOPS!
However I walked across the kitchen opening a deeper drawer and there were several boxes of my favorite Folgers. So I opened a box and put them in the first drawer and immediately there was plenty of my favorite first cup of coffee pods.
Why am I sharing about coffee? Because sometimes it looks like we have reached the end of our strength, our provisions, and our wisdom. But if we will just go to the Father God the Creator of the Universe He will supply not only just what we need but He has a store house of what we desire.
Now I could have used a hot tea or hot chocolate or even a French Vanilla pod, but that was not my desire. Just like that, sometimes we settle for something less than the desires that Father God has placed deep within us because we do not remember that He has promised to meet every need and ever desire when we just Love Him with our whole heart.
Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Psalm 37:4 (KJV)
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Wait, let’s think about this. God will supply our needs and give us the desires of our heart as we delight in Him.
What are we delighting in? Are we delighting in our achievements and successes or do we acknowledge that even our very breath comes from the Lord God Almighty?
But think again….not only will God supply our needs and give us the desires of our heart but He will do more than we can comprehend or imagine.
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Wow, what a promise. When you allow the power of God to work and dwell in you, the best and greatest you can think off will not begin to match the plan He has for you.
The riches of His great Love, Power and Blessings are ours but we refuse to go to the source and receive. Just as I could have ignored the boxes of coffee in the second drawer, we can ignore God’s provision and Blessing.
Open your heart to receive. Put yourself in a position of receiving by Loving and Serving the Lord God Almighty.
When Jesus multiplied the Loaves and Fishes in the Bible, the people had to receive. I wonder if there might have been those in the crowd who refused to take the food from the disciples because they did not feel worthy, or they had not worked or even asked for it. If there were, they went away hungry.
How about you? Are you a receiver or a doubter? Is your heart filled with God’s Love or with your own plans? Go to the source. Open your heart and hands and position yourself for His mighty acts of Love.

Father, what an amazing thing to know that all we need, desire or even dream of is complete in you. I decree and declare that you are removing every doubt and fear from our minds and our spirit. You are God: nothing is too hard for you. We open our hands and receive your Blessings and we give you honor and praise. And it is all because of Jesus and we pray in that wonderful, powerful name. Amen
Have an awesome week!
Love, MeMaw
